TIFF QUESTION OF FEED.

Although not as yet suffering to tue
extent Of other sections Of the state, still
the farmers hereabouts are beginning to
feel the effects Of the drought 1t is now
becoming matter of concern with many
as to the supply of feed for stock the COM
ing winter. Comparatively few farmers
have cut sufficient hay for their ordinary
wants. Many are already obliged tc feed
the hay intended for winters use hoping
that the fall cut may let them out AS
there is now entertained little hope for
much of a yield OF fall feed the outlook
for keeping cattle is rathe. bad aud a
disastrous condition of things among
sto"k-raisers is to be apprehended AS
yet, however, in this section the price of
milk and butter is not much affected by
the failure in the feed, but with a con-
tinuance OF the present hot, dry weather
much longer considerable rise in thes e
commodities may be locked for.

The first meeting of the Y. NJ. G. A .
in their new rooms in the ChappelI block,
was held Sunday afternoon. The from
room, newly papered and furnished with
comfortable chairs and tables, and a very
sweet-toned melodeGn, which Amos Ben
nett and his kind-hearted daugh ters do
mated to the association, contributed
largely to the enjoyable character of the
service G. G. Eaton, j. B. Bennett and
D. Jones participated III the exercises, and
the only source of regret was the absence
of so many, particularly young men, who
would be benefited by joining in these
services. Next Sunday afternoon at
o'clock service will be held in the same
rooms. All young men who wish to make
good use of their Sunday afternoons are
invited.
On Thursday evening a meeting of the
ladies' auxiliary of the Y NJ G. A. will
be held in these rooms to devise ways to
assist in carpetng and further furnishing
the apartments so that they may be open
ed very soon as day and evening reading
reception and amusement rooms. Our
citizens are earnestly requested to assist
in this work by their liberal contributions.

ABOILER OF WATERFOWL MANUFACTURE

A new boiler for the Empire Touring
mill on the west side, manufactured at
the foundry and machine shop of Ernest
Kunert, was completed last week AS a
piece of Watertown work it is worthy of
special mention. The boiler is feet in
diameter, being as large in diameter as
any boiler ever made in Milwaukee, 16
feet long, containing so fues and steam
dome 36X48 inches. The steel shell of
which the boiler is manufactured is 30 of
an inch thick and the fue sheets p inch
The cost of the boiler is 81 $50 The
workmanship is of frst-class order, re-
fectng great credit on the maker
With the amount of capital invested re-
quisite to establish a boiler mandatory
there is no reason why a business of this
kind on large scale cannot be made to
pay here. There is in the Kunert estab-
lishment the nucleus for just such works.
More capital is needed to increase the
present plant TO size where il can be
made to pay both for the investors and
the city. A boiler mandatory will en-
ploy the right kind of labor and to some
extent fill the gap made by the burning
of the railway shops. Our business men
ought to confer together and look into
this matter The time is ripe to starr up
something here in the way of manufactur-
mo

"sELLs' DAY, ALMOST HERE!
August I3 will SignaIiZe the Advent
of the Greatest on Earth

Just now the chief topic Of conversation
at the hotels, shops, restaurants, and other
places where people cOngregate, is the
renowned and justly popular tented com
bination, which appears here, in all its
summer beauty, Saturday, Aug. Is. AS
tile day of the exhibition draws near, in
terest in the event increases at remark
able rate 1t would seem that The entire
community had the circus fever, and
badly, too. Well, it is not strange that
our people should enthuse over the
Messrs. Sells aggregation, as it is stu
pendous and unparalleled affair, and Gre
ates blaze OF excitement wherever it
appears. From all indications there will
be the largest crowd in the city on the
day of Sells Brothers visit here, that has
ever been known in the history of the
town. The Messrs. Sells have PLAYED to
the capacity of their tents everywhere.
No such complete and gigantic success
ever attended a circus tour before. Our
exchanges TEEN with editorials eXtolling
the magnificent worth CT the show, and
scarcely a day passes but that some
gentleman, who has already seen the es-
adjustment this season, grows eloquent
in describing to us the superlative excel
lence Of the Messrs. Sells features The
show embraces wider rage of attractions
than any tented management has hereto
fore possessed There is a $2OO,OO0
menagerie of fifty cages, an Indian vii
lage and museum, an chronological con-
gress of baibarous tribes, a grand fire.

summate revival of the Roman hippo

Clusters memorable battle with the Sioux
Indians, on the Little Big Horn, and a

three hundred of the worlds greatest

and magnificent programme that charmed
and dazzled Philadelphia, Baltimore.
Washington, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Cleve-
land and Detroit, will be presented here,
and in the same complete and faultless
manner, too. One of the most commend
able features of the Sells management is
that they present their exhibition with
as much care and elaborateness in the
smaller cities as in the metropolitan CEN
tres
Sells Brothers will surely receive an
ovation here.

To GO OR NOT TO GO.

The Watertown Rifles start for the an
nuaI encampment of the Second Reg, w.
n. G., at Beaver Dam next Monday. To
keep up the organization of the Rifles it
is necessary that good showing in num-
bers be made at the encampment,
and to this end it behooves those feeling
an interest in the maintenance of a
military organization among us to allow
those members of the Rifles in their en-
ploy to be absent for next week. A poor
attendance may result in the Rifles being
mustered out of service and thus close up
another interest here. Let the. boys 60

DEATH AND AN INVESTIGATION.

Tuesday night of last week the wife Of
a man named August Staeber, who works
at the Carroll lime kiln in Emmett and
lives il house on the premises, died
suddenly. Leaving the corpse all alone
in the house and without apprsing any
of the n5ighbOrs, Staeber came to town
and told girl named Schultz living at
Fl. A. Blocks, and his baIf-brother, IL.
Staeber, in the Seventh ward, of his wife's
death. Hearing Of the affair, and
thinking the matter of a suspicious
nature, Marshal Zautner fastened to the
house and found the woman dead and the
dwelling locked Under the circumstan-
ces it became a matter of public inquiry
and an investigation was consequently
necessary. A coroner's jury was sum
moned by Justice Beckman and a post
mortem examination made of the body
by Drs. Spalding and Moulding. Their
opinion was that the woman died from
congestion of the brain and the jury
brought in verdict in accordance with
this fact. Several matters which looked
misgiying and suspicious on the part of
the husband were satisfactorily cleared
up and although some his actions were
hardly in accordance with the rules of
propriety in such cases, yet it was shown
that be was innocent of any criminal
